Chromehounds offers a very lackluster singleplayer, and the multiplayer can be very difficult for newcomers.

This was the first game I purchased when I got my Xbox 360, and I was planning on immediately falling in love with it. Sadly, that wasn't the case. Chromehounds offers a very boring, basic storyline, which really isn't too exciting, no matter how many times they decide to throw in added surprises. The singleplayer is more or less training for the multiplayer portion of the game, and multiplayer can be difficult to get into. Basically, you are thrown into a massive online war between three nations and you must find a "squad" (which is pretty much the same thing as a clan), which will allow you to join up with them. If you aren't an outgoing person, finding a squad can also be a nuisance. One thing that I find difficult about this game is the actual building of a mech that suits you. More experienced players can make what seem like inpenetrable war machines, while you must experiment with new parts until you build a suitable Hound of your own. Another one of the more tedious factors offered by the game is the massive size of the maps. If you are not a patient person, you will be frustrated with this game because it may take you more than 5 minutes in a game to actually find an enemy, and if you aren't prepared, you might get your brains blow out in 5 seconds, in which case you'll have to wait until your teammates either meet the same fate or succeedthe mission. In either case, these games can take a while. If you have a nack for this game, you will have much more fun with it, but for those of you not willing to spend time on truly learning the ropes and key strategies, forget it.
